Reminiscences Of A Prisoner Of War And His Escape is a memoir written by Daniel Avery Langworthy in 1915. The book is a first-hand account of Langworthy's experiences as a prisoner of war during the American Civil War. Langworthy was a member of the 6th Iowa Volunteer Infantry Regiment and was captured by Confederate soldiers in April 1862. He spent the next year and a half in various Confederate prisons, including Libby Prison in Richmond, Virginia, before finally escaping in September 1863. Langworthy's memoir provides a detailed and vivid description of life in Confederate prisons, including the harsh living conditions, lack of food and medical care, and the constant threat of disease and death. He also describes the various escape attempts made by himself and other prisoners, as well as the punishment inflicted upon those who were caught. The book is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the experiences of Union soldiers who were taken prisoner during the Civil War. It also offers a unique perspective on the war from the point of view of a soldier who was captured and spent time in Confederate prisons.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
